Description

This volume is a comprehensive listing of bibliographical references to writings on the book of Ecclesiastes, beginning from 1900. Rather than being presented in alphabetical order, these references are classified according to genre, chapter, subject and theme; among the myriad of classifications are biblical theology, commentaries, death and the afterlife, God/the divine, joy, language, sexuality, structure and wisdom.

These classifications have been selected by specialists of Ecclesiastes, in order to guide scholars and researchers through the wealth of secondary material available and to prompt further research on the text. Through its collation of the incredible amount of bibliographical data on the book of Ecclesiastes, this collection will prove a vital resource for those working on Ecclesiastes for years to come.

CHOICE
A 'must have', thoroughly useful resource for any student or scholar of Ecclesiastes/Qoheleth covering modern scholarship 1900-2015 and treating secondary literature on the book – articles, commentaries and books - not just chapter by chapter, but also theme by theme. This bibliography forms a companion to The Making of Many Books by Stuart Weeks (2014) which covered 1523-1875. Between them, these two books have all the bibliographic information on Ecclesiastes you are ever likely to need. Russell Meek and David Beldman have done a great service to scholarship with their careful classification and thorough work.
